India has just over 3GW capacity of domestic cell manufacturing. With module production capacity in the country at around 5 times of that of solar cells, the huge dearth as well as the opportunity in the logistical support for Indian module manufacturing is quite evident.
But the challenges associated with these risks along with the rising annual demand for solar installation in the country signify the existence of enormous underlying potential for development of domestic module production.
Mumbai: The government’s move to extend the Approved Lists of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) to solar cells from 1 June, 2026, will accelerate the development of solar cell manufacturing in India.
capacity is only able to meet 35% of the total annual domestic demand. Even though domestic suppliers contribute only 30-35% share of all utility-scale solar installations, the situation is reversed in the commercial and industrial (C&I) and distributed segment of the market where domestic suppliers cater to nearly 60% of the market.
Since 2015, India has on average imported solar cells and modules worth Rs176bn (US$2.6bn) annually. Simultaneously, 80% of India’s market share of exports is to the U.S. The exports of each of the top 4 players – Vikram Solar, Waaree, Adani Solar and Tata – constitute 25-30% of their total
Also, there is a strong impetus in the global solar industry for advancement in emerging technologies such as bifacial cells, half cells, etc., which are expected to further increase cell efficiency over the coming years. Globally, there is a rising demand for larger cell-based modules due to their higher efficiency and wattage output range.

Crisil Market Intelligence & Analytics reports that high domestic solar cell prices, 1.5-2 times higher than Chinese alternatives, could increase solar project costs and tariffs. Domestic cell capacity is expected to quadruple by 2026, but timely commissioning is crucial to meet the anticipated 40-45 GW annual demand.
Domestic manufacturers consider these flip-flops detrimental to their expansion plans, especially for those that have not entered into strong export contracts. The government has also imposed a BCD of 25 per cent on solar cell imports and 40 per cent on solar module imports since April 1, 2022, providing more support for domestic manufacturers.
2 · The domestic solar cell manufacturing industry is still in its developing stage as compared to China, who is commanding the greater share of global production. Now, manufacturers will be under pressure to scale up quickly to be able to meet the 2026 demand for domestically produced cells. This again will need huge investments by players in technology, …
DYCM Power says it plans to partner with Macquarie Capital in developing an $800 million solar cell and module manufacturing facility within the U.S. . The facility is set to initially produce 2 ...
According to the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q2 2024 report released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, total U.S. solar module manufacturing capacity now exceeds 26 GW annually.
Managing the tariff-rate quota for solar cells under Section 201 to support expanded solar manufacturing. Currently, there is a 5 GW tariff-rate quota for imported solar cells under Section 201.
Over the last few months, the solar industry has been contending with numerous policy changes, including tariffs on imports of solar cells and modules. In this report, we''ve accounted for the updates to the Section 201 tariffs, notably the removal of the bifacial module exemption. And while the Section 301 tariffs were doubled (from 25% to 50%) for Chinese …
After several years of relatively steady import volumes, monocrystalline silicon cell imports have begun to rise substantially as new domestic module manufacturing capacity comes online. According to U.S. Census data, the …
Among issues for the industry are the relatively low capacity utilisation in factories producing solar cells and the type of solar cells being produced. The majority of domestic production (60-70%) employs multi-Si module technology – which is nearing obsolescence. New major manufacturers who are planning to expand or enter the market aim to install machinery to produce mono-Si …
